    Hi, I would like to know of it is possible to seperate the latitude and longitude values returned from the map meta box.

    I am trying to create a user search feature that would search within an area based on an address they enter however, I’m not sure how to do this without first seperating the lat/lng values first.

    By seperate i mean the values before they are stored in the database so that i have a field for lat and one for long. Dont think it was clear in the original question..

    Hi Paul,
    We’re working on that. In the mean time, you can use 1 of the following options to achieve that:

    1) Use the Geolocation extension, which stores more useful information of a location separately.

    2) Hook to Meta Box plugin to save latitude and longitude manually, like this:

    add_action( 'rwmb_after_save_post', 'your_prefix_save_lat_lon' );
function your_prefix_save_lat_lon( $post_id ) {
    $value = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'FIELD_ID', true );
    list( $lat, $lon ) = explode( ',', $value . ',' );
    update_post_meta( $post_id, 'FIELD_ID_latitide', $lat );
    update_post_meta( $post_id, 'FIELD_ID_longitude', $lat );
}

    Then you will have 2 additional rows in the database for latitude and longitude with meta key FIELD_ID_latitide and FIELD_ID_longitude.
